Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 0.75 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.
Gently fold in the dried cranberries and chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
